What is the best acne scar treatment for pitted scars? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Hello

From your photo, you have several depressed box and pitted scars on the cheek. In my opinion, the best option would be to treat with an aggressive fractional CO2 laser to induce formation of new collagen and improve appearance of the skin.

This can also be combined with subcision or punch excision of the individual scars before laser. It usually gives 50-70% improvement after 5 monthly treatments. Most patients will be pink for 5-7 days after treatment.

Hope this helps!

Warmest regards

Dr Stephanie Ho, Dermatologist
